table resembles Cauliflower, and is much 
hardier. The seed should be planted in hotbeds during March 
and April for an early crop. Transplant during May or June in 
rows 8 to 4 ft. apart, and the plants about 2 ft. apart in the row. 
For a late crop sow in June in hills or beds, covering seed to the

QADRAQC _ The Cultivation of Cabbage For plants ol 
the early varieties sow the seed fn January or 
February, under glass, and prick out into flats oi frames about 
2 in. apart each way. Transplant to the open ground as soon in 
the spring as the land can be properly prepared. The plants 
should be placed from 1ft ft. to 2 ft. apart in rows, which should 
be at least 2 ft. apart. They should be kept well cultivated, and 
during drought should be thoroughly irrigated if this is possible. 
The plants do best in a rich, warm, fibrous soil. The seed of the 
late Cabbage should be sown in drills in the open ground during 
April and May and transplanted in June or July, leaving more 
room between the plants than was allowed for the early sorts. 
1 ox. of Cabbage seed will produce about 3,000 heads. 4 os. will 
plant an acre.

289 Carters Early Heartwell. —An early Marrow Cabbage of 
refined quality and delicate flavour; without doubt one of the 
best varieties in cultivation. 112 First Prizes reported and in¬ 
cluded in 3 Gold Medal Exhibits. 
804 Carters Mammoth Bee-f heart Cabbage. — The finest 
autumn garden Cabbage grown. It is some years since we intro¬ 
duced this variety, but each season it becomes more popular, and 
we confidently recommend this highly selected strain as being 
not only the largest, but one with the least tendency to bolt. It 
is much more robust and hardy than many of the small varieties 
now recommended for early summer use. No less than 48 First 
Prizes were reported to us by our customers last season. 
No. 221 Carters Holborn. No. 223 Carters Perfection. 
121 Carters Holborn Exhibition. —A very fine strain, the result 
of many years’ careful selection. Its points for size, colour, and 
productiveness are good all round. Besides being largely grown 
in private gardens, it is a special favourite with many of the best 
known market growers. It is of medium height with large solid 
sprouts. The Royal Horticultural Society’s report reads:— 
“Carters New Exhibition. —Plants 2 ft. high, sturdy, producing 
a mass of medium-sized hard sprouts from base to crown.” 
228 Carters Perfection. —Perfection in every way. A standard 
variety for general use, producing large and firm sprouts in 
great abundance. As a late Sprout it is much appreciated. It is 
a taller growing variety than our Exhibition strain. 
224 Algburth . —Medium height; sprouts of good size and colour. 
225 Fresh Imported. —Small, close, compact sprouts.
